60 Minutes

AI tools are moving quickly into HR work. This 60-minute Copilot for HR professionals webinar gives you a practical introduction to Copilot, an AI assistant, starting with its origins, the technology behind it and what it can do.

You'll then go step by step through setting up an account, finding your way around the interface and creating your first prompt, and see how prompts shape Copilot's responses. The core of the session covers four HR uses: recruitment and screening, onboarding and training, policy development and management, and employee engagement.

It finishes with what Copilot can't do, when human intervention is needed, ethical considerations and how to protect data privacy and security, followed by Q&A.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Copilot can take work off HR teams, but only if you know how to prompt it, where it helps and where it falls short. This session gives you hands-on guidance for using it in recruiting, onboarding, policy management and engagement, and for using AI responsibly.

It suits HR directors and managers, recruitment and talent acquisition specialists, engagement coordinators, training and development managers, HR analysts, business partners, onboarding specialists and policy development officers.
